Yes on mopdern platforms.  I am not sure whether this is the case for
AIX.  Actually, I was asking myself whether to write /run for please the
young hackers and Gnus but the  wrote /var/run becuase that is more
common to me.  In any case, using XDG specs make a lot of sense.

No idea.  I ddged that this is sometimes used for databases and such on
Ubuntu.

Why should that not work for all users?  It is just a matter of creating
that directory for each user in advance or creating it on demand using a
little userv script.
